Hi Trig. I noticed that a lot of your edits lately have just been taking two spaces "__" and reducing it to just one space "_". I was curious why this was one of your focuses? I routinely add two spaces between sentences. It's so unconscious, I'm doing it right now as I type to you. And I find that, in a fixed width font editor, it makes it very easy for your eyes to scan a paragraph and determine where new sentences start. So I was just curious as to the rationale. Thanks very much. '''[[User:Procyon|<span style="color:red">Pro</span>]][[User talk:Procyon|<span style="color:grey">cyon</span>]]''' 01:53, 17 June 2021 (UTC) | Hi Trig.

::Primarily since it is no longer grammatically acceptable to do so. Even services like Microsoft Word will be flagging this as an error. Moving to the much more common and correct single space helps to establish uniformity in the site's formatting, similar to standardizing the use of color over colour spellings or the oxford comma.
